The situation in Dongjiang Town is different from other border towns. Dongjiang Town is located in the rear area of the Hou Jin Dynasty, and it is necessary to be prepared for Hou Jin to use troops against Dongjiang Town at any time. Therefore, the generals in Dongjiang Town have always been dissatisfied with not having enough soldiers in their hands and eating empty pay. It won't happen in Dongjiang Town.
Chen Zhong said: "We can't reach or control the capital side, so we can only find a solution from Denglai."
Mao Wenlong nodded and said: "Keep talking." The mobile phone version "→m.\B\iq\u\g\\o\m" provides you with wonderful novel reading.
Chen Zhong continued: "If you want to prevent Denglai from sending food mixed with sediment, you must either replace the governor of Denglai with a governor who is closely related to our Dongjiang Town, or spend some money to manage it up and down. , bribe Governor Denglai."

"For Governor Denglai, we in Dongjiang Town simply can't do it." Mao Wenlong said with a frown.
At this time, he acted cautiously and was not as arrogant as he would be in the future. Even Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, was forced out of the governor's position by him.
"Since we can't do the first method, we can only choose the second method." Chen Zhong said.
Mao Wenlong shook his head and said: "The second method can't be done. We don't have that many things to send to Denglai in Liaodong Town. If we don't send too much, it's useless. If we don't do it right, it will be counterproductive."
Mao Chenglu on the side said: "Our Dongjiang Town cannot compare with those border towns in Jiubian. We can only rely on ships to transport grain and grass from the sea, and we must always be vigilant that Houjin will attack at any time."
"Sir, we have got some Liaodong specialties. We can send these specialties to Denglai. I believe that Denglai will take some care of us in Dongjiang Town." Chen Zhong suggested.
Mao Chenglu said: "Those specialties still have to come to the merchants in Dongjiang Town in exchange for some things that Dongjiang Town needs, and they are all given to Denglai. Life in Dongjiang Town will not be easy."
"Then we can only maintain a stable relationship with the Tiger-Character Banner." Chen Zhong said, "The people in the Tiger-Character Banner want big wood and are willing to exchange the goods that our Dongjiang Town needs for the big wood. This is a good thing for our Dongjiang Town. After all, what our Dongjiang Town needs most is Damu and the people from Liaodong who fled to Dongjiang Town."
Mao Chenglu, who was standing next to him, frowned and said, "The meaning behind your words is that you are speaking for the people of the Tiger Flag."
Mao Wenlong stared at Chen Zhong in front of him, tapping the lid of the cup in his hand against the rim.
"Sir, the general is not speaking for the Tiger Flag, but for our Liaodong Town." Chen Zhong raised his hands and clasped his fists, and bowed.
Mao Wenlong picked up the tureen, put it to his mouth and took a sip.
Mao Chenglu on the side said: "Mr. Chen, it is not that our Dongjiang Town is not cooperating with the Tiger Flag. The big wood should be sold to them, and we will still sell it to them. The price of the big wood will just be increased, which is also a good thing for Dongjiang Town. "
"General Mao," Chen Zhong said, "I did not say that prices cannot be raised, and I also know that this is a good thing for our Dongjiang Town. However, Tiger Flag can ship food, salt, iron, and medicinal materials. These are all What Dongjiang Town urgently needs is to maintain a good relationship with the Tiger Flag, which is also a good thing for Dongjiang Town."
Mao Wenlong, who was sitting in his seat, looked thoughtful.
"Aren't you still working as a lobbyist for the Tiger Flag people?" Mao Chenglu said with a frown.
Chen Zhong shook his head and said: "I support the increase in the price of big wood. This is a good thing for Dongzhen, but there must be a limit to the price increase. If the tiger-character flag is really pressed, it will not do us any good, and the tiger Zi Qi is still related to Wei Gong, so we in Dongjiang Town shouldn’t offend him too much.”
"Wei Yi has nothing to be afraid of. Don't forget, Mr. Wang is behind us, and Mr. Wang is a member of the Donglin Party." Mao Chenglu said disapprovingly.
Chen Zhong said: "We in Dongjiang Town are indeed not afraid of Wei Gong. After all, Dongjiang Town is very important to the court and cannot be thrown away easily, but there is no need for us to offend Wei Gong over a trivial matter."
"Well, what Chen Zhong said makes sense." Mao Wenlong nodded slightly.
Mao Chenglu, who was about to open his mouth to argue with Chen Zhong, closed his mouth.
"Sir, if someone from the Tiger Flag is sent over again, how should we respond?" Chen Zhong looked at Mao Wenlong.
Mao Wenlong said: "Damu can increase the price appropriately, but there is no need to limit it. Give them as much as they have."
"General, I understand." Chen Zhong saluted.
Mao Wenlong added: "If people from the Tiger Flag come to you to get big wood, tell them that I will need a batch of spears and broadswords, and ask them to send them over with the next ship to Pi Island. I will use them." Damu came to convert the silver."
"Yes." Chen Zhong agreed.
Mao Wenlong drank the cool tea in the bowl in one gulp and said: "Now that we are here, let's stay on the island for one night. We will go back tomorrow morning and let Chenglu have dinner with you in the evening."
"Yes." Mao Chenglu on the side responded.
"Everything must be obeyed, sir." Chen Zhong clasped his fists.
Mao Wenlong put down the bowl in his hand and said, "Since you two are here, let's go on a tour of the island with my general."
With that said, he stood up from his seat.
Mao Chenglu and Chen Zhong followed Mao Wenlong and walked out of the house together.
After leaving the house, Mao Wenlong put on the fur cloak handed over by his own soldiers, and then walked out of the yard and outside.
A group of soldiers followed behind him.
Along the way, all the soldiers and generals who saw Mao Wenlong saluted, but the common people didn't meet many of them. Even if there were some common people, they were all chipping away at the ice.
Arriving at the shore, Mao Chenglu said: "Look, foster father, the ice in front has been cut through. In just a few more days, it will be completely disconnected from the ice on the opposite side. When it freezes next time, it won't take half a month." It’s hard to freeze.”
Mao Wenlong nodded and said: "You have to keep an eye on this matter. You must pay attention to the ice at all times. Once it freezes, you have to send people to break it to prevent the Jurchens from getting close to Pi Island through the ice."
"My child understands." Mao Chenglu agreed.
There is no navy in Houjin, and it is expected that some small boats will have difficulty approaching Phi Island. The only way to reach Phi Island without a boat is to wait for the ice to freeze in winter, so that Phi Island can be connected to the other side.
The people of Pi Island are always on guard against the Jurchens sneaking up on Pi Island through the ice, so as soon as winter comes, they send people to watch the sea. Once it freezes, they start to cut the ice to disconnect the ice connecting Pi Island to the other shore.
Mao Wenlong looked sideways at Chen Zhong and said, "I will ask someone to prepare some seeds. This time you go back and take them back together. Next year, we will open up wasteland and farm in Tieshan. If there are not enough people, we will ask for people from Pi Island. Next year, we must grow food, we can’t just rely on others to send us food.”
"Don't worry, sir. The general has already cleared a piece of open space on the Iron Mountain side. Just wait for the land to melt in the coming year, so that the people can open up wasteland and grow food for our Dongjiang Town." Chen Zhong said.
Mao Wenlong nodded.
Food is never enough for Dongjiang Town.
